Atletico Tucuman are desperate to move away from the bottom of the Argentina Liga Pro standings. Tucuman are 24th in the division, with 18 points from 19 matches. They are just one point off last-place team Arsenal Sarandi.
On Wednesday, Atletico Tucuman will host Godoy Cruz at the Monumental Jose Fierro.

Atletico go into the match with just one win from their last six matches in the division.
Godoy Cruz are ninth in the Liga Pro standings, with 29 points from 19 fixtures.
They go into the game fresh off a 2-1 win over Independiente. Godoy Cruz are just four points off the top six in the Liga Pro.
Atletico picked up five points from their last six games, scoring four goals and conceding six times.
They have the second-worst home points total in Liga Pro with 10 points from nine matches. They failed to win five of their last six home games.
Goalscoring is not one of Atletico’s strengths. They have scored 15 times, the second-fewest goals in the division.
Pressure on manager Lucas Pusineri is likely high going into Wednesday’s fixture.
Godoy Cruz collected nine points from their last six games in the league. They scored just five times but conceded only four goals to opponents.
Godoy Cruz are a strong away team, with 11 points from 10 matches on the road. However, they failed to win their last two road matches.
Manager Daniel Oldra’s team has scored 22 times but their 21 goals conceded have prevented draws from becoming wins. Five of Godoy Cruz’s 19 matches ended in draws.
Atletico Tucuman are one of the draw masters of the Liga Pro. Tucuman have nine draws from 19 matches. It is the second-greatest number of draws this season in the division.
Pusineri has a few injury concerns at Atletico. Cristian Menendez is a doubt due to a knee injury. Right-back Marcelo Ortiz is also a doubt following an adductor injury.
Centre-back Bruno Bianchi could also miss the match at suffering an edema. Mateo Coronel leads the team with four goals.
Oldra will be without striker Tomas Conechny due to a suspension. Meanwhile, central defender Gianluca Ferrari is out with a ruptured ACL. Forward Tadeo Allende leads Godoy in goals with four this season.
Wednesday’s match should see Atletico Tucuman pick up a 10th draw of the season. The teams should finish 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes. Last season, these clubs played out a 1-1 draw at the Monumental Jose Fierro, and it should happen once more.
